Soooo, a major buff to a pokemon that's already OU?

It would be easier to use the pinch berries(mostly custap)/pinch abilities(blaze,torrent,overgrow) if there was a dedicated in-battle notification of when a pokemon weilding these abilties was "in a pinch". It's not all that helpful for stuff like salac/liechi/petaya berry because they activate instantly, but custap berries and the pinch abilities it would be nice to be notified when they become active. Since starters usually have the pinch abilities, it would also make these abilities easier to understand for new players

I never said he was smart, just that he was frustrated. Long-time players who do lots of catching will get comfortable with skipping right through this pop-up without reading because it will appear many times for mons which are not signifigant at all. Rather than trying to improve the pop-up itself, why not just reduce the consequences of getting it wrong? Even if they only stick around Pal Park for 12hours, that's something.

A teammate of mine recently accidentally released an expensive comp pokemon, and was frustrated by the lack of any way to recover it. Pal Park in Sinnoh is currently not implemented, but in the DS games it allowed Pokemon to be inputted from the Gen 3 games, and then caught at Pal Park. I'm not a coder, but it sounds like the basic bones of a "recapture" system are already there. What if Pal Park were converted into a place to recapture your most recently released Pokemon? That would open up another location in the very barebones Sinnoh, and it would give valuable QOL utility.
